Day 37 - Cute Clippies

Have a little lady on your list? Try making these cute clippies for her.

 What you need:

spools of ribbon, fabric glue, and plain metal barrettes.

How to do it:

Measure enough ribbon to completely cover your barrette (mine was about 9 1/2 inches) and cut.

Starting with the bottom inside part of the clip, carefully glue the ribbon to the barrette, covering the entire piece with one long strand of ribbon. If you measured carefully, your ribbon should fit perfectly and finish on the inside top portion of the clip.

Let glue dry overnight.

Try  this...

* Make a pretty package out of paper. Cut a piece of card stock in the shape of a T, making sure the top of your T is at least 2 inches tall and 3 inches wide and the stem is about 1 inch wide and at least 1 inch long for every pair of barrettes you plan to add. Decorate the top and add your clippies to the stem.
* Embellish your clippies with small flowers, rhinestones, or buttons. Simply glue them on the finished barrette and let dry overnight. (Please be sure to supervise your young kids if they use these.)
* Use a pair of clippies to attach a name tag to a gift.
